Hey, nobody can accuse me of letting moss grow under my feet. I woke up yesterday morning. Decided to post it for sale. Had a buyer reach out in the afternoon and today its on her way to its new home. I'll be ordering the Purple one day this week. Just have to decide if'n it's going to have a clear button or a CZ.
And it's going to a very good home! I baby all my stuff. Can't wait!

Well if it makes anyone feel any better, I have to wait a bit on the Concord Grape, too. Like until we get out actual tax refund and the bill for our property tax, which goes up every year. :(

For me, plain button wins. I don't really like bling. No regrets. :)

I read your post too fast. I thought it said you had all your baby stuff and I wondered if you had a shower.

I also have plenty devices to vape in the meantime. One drawback is that I would want to order a Kabuki for it...K-Ching.

Can you file as a married couple now? I have a feeling not, but I hope I'm wrong.

Yes, believe it or not, when the Supreme Court ruled we could get married, we filed as a married couple this year. :banana::banana::banana:

I was wondering what kind of batteries I can get for the radius. I usually get all my batteries from RTD Vapor. All I have is the button tips for my 2.5s and want to get a couple for the radius.

I picked up a few of the new 18650 3k mah batteries from Provape. I'm working on day two with my Radius at 8 watts without a recharge. I'd call that a good battery indeed.

One of the best. The only thing I don't like is it gets hot when recharging. Not too hot, I guess, but pretty hot.

Does your charger let you control the rate?
Mine does, and since I never NEED the battery back right away, I charge at 0.5, and nothing gets warm.
Cheaper charger might go at 1.0 and warm 'em up, which isn't TERRIBLE, but is an unnecessary strain on the batt.
Or some chargers just automatically split - they'll run at 0.5 if you're charging TWO batteries, but faster/hotter if you're charging just one.

It's USB charging on a 500mah block. The radius internal charger will accept up to 800mah.

Gotcha - I figgered since you said it was hot, that it was in a charger, not USB.
Just warm, through the mod, I'm assuming? "Hot" would worry me!
(actually, usb charging worries me anyway - but that's just me)

No, it's not just you. Charging is a pretty regular time to have a thermal event, if you're going to have one.

When I say hot, I mean hotter than the Radius charges with the 25r in it. The HG2 is kinda known to run a bit hotter than average. I'm not freaking out over it, but it is not something I like. The battery life is phenomenal at my wattages though.

The 25r is not a garbage battery.

It is one of the best batteries on the current market.

It has about 500mah less juice is all.

That doesn't make it garbage.

Truth. 25R is one of the TOP batteries out there right now.

I think they will make a solid white at some point. It would be easy to do. I have a feeling the ghost is the poorest selling color so far - not that it's not cool, but it seems like more of a novelty. When people want white, they want it to be white.

I actually really like the ghost white. I have two of them, a stock one and a custom. FWIW, I don't think I would like them nearly so well if they were solid white.

When at home I swap batteries in my Radius, only time I use the USB is when traveling for convenience, and traveling is rare :)
